- Improved Blocks Management – Get a visual list of all blocks present in a drawing. Access and edit block information more quickly and easily than ever before. Sort blocks by Name, ID, or Reference Counts and easily copy this information to the clipboard. Right-click the Reference Counts lines to see context menus of the categories—Direct, Indirect, and In Definition. Three editing operations—Open in Block Editor, Delete, and Insert—allow you to quickly make almost any change (with some limitations) without the distraction of other drawing entities.
- Improved Image Management – Similar to the Blocks tab, the new Image tab of the Insert Manager makes it easy to access and edit the raster images in a design. Additional sort options include sort by Path, Index, and Embedded fields.
- Improved Symbols Management – The Symbols tab of the Insert Manager has the same features as the Images tab, and also has the Open in Block Editor button, just like the Blocks tab.
